    Here's a little ditty out of my drawing book. I tend to draw strange, surreal cartoons.

    Not sure how to put images in the post direct from the computer, so I put it as a little attachment. Hope you like!

    This is 'Bob', just after his retirement from the supra dimensional association of sentient paper that border on infinite age.



    It's just a bit of fiddling with photoshop, but I liked how it came out. It's been ages since I used photoshop for anything but quick touch ups anyway.
    In case you're wondering, it's supposed to look like a face on a crumbled piece of paper with a few torn bits here and there.

    I like the ambiguity of it, AimusSage.

    It's an interesting effect you employ in your drawing.

    Yeah, Sprinks, that's quite excellent! The cool thing is that it takes time to look at everything, the details, that's a very nice piece!

    Thanks Sweets The only thing is that you can see, especially in the clouds, where I kept moving the paper when I was doing the lines and they ended up crooked!

    That is really great detail. I love you style, sprinks. It's very different.

    Thanks Lily!! The teacher tends to complain about my style because I'm such a perfectionist with my work and she hates it! I'm a very difficult art student

    I've posted more art on my blog, but I'll post my favourite one now, a locust drawn in fineliner and water, actually I'll post the one with my locust compared to the photo I drew it from:

    Wow, Sprinks, those are really good! I've always been so jealous of people who can draw, which is funny, because I recently met and got close to a new friend, and found out he can draw, like, REALLY well...I'll post what he drew for my birthday here

    As promised, the picture my friend drew me for my birthday, using only pencil, charcoal, and a red marker.



    edit: a little explanation...The female character is Anita Blake from the new graphic novel series based on Laurell K. Hamilton's vampire hunter novels. (I am obsessed with the series, which is why he chose to draw here). The face in the background is my friend's msn avatar, and "Muse of the Darkness" comes from my group of friends and I, who call ourselves the "Darkness Clan," and I am known as the clan's "Muse"...since I'm always coming up with bright ideas about what to do when we're bored, lol.
